Go J series? That's a horrible idea, don't get me wrong they're good motors and he's wrong about practicality. A J series swap makes perfect sense if you want a quick daily driver that can cruise, get good gas mileage depending on the weight of the car, and really pull so that you can merge onto the highway. But racing wise there's not as much support, you'd be competing in a V6 class, and your not as light as you would be in a K swapped car which is what Hondas are good at. Engineering wise the SOHC VTEC in the J series is only on the intake side which means it SUCKS compared to the K series DOHC i-VTEC. As far as maintenance wise a J series that's been shoe horned into a Civic or Integra is going to be about as much fun and easy to work on as a Twin Turbo 300ZX and don't forget you'll probably have to butcher your baby and cut a massive hole in the hood to get it to fit. Not mentioning the real bottle neck of all swaps, parts availability, a manual transmission for a J series swap is about as easy to find as a Virgin in college and a manual transmission with an LSD, which is the one you're going to want with all the torque a J series makes, is even harder to find. The list goes on, the point is there are more cons than pros for a J series swap when compared to a K series that this guy didn't point out simply because he hasn't researched the swap in its entirety. If you want a practical and quick daily that could pull on 80% of what's out there then yeah go J series with an auto swap, it'll be cheap and effective but if you want to build a competitive street/track car then go K. There's a reason all of the Top FWD Time Attack Cars are K powered and not J.
+Jacob Flores Believe it or not J series is used in the lower end time attack classes because in stock or close to stock form it has way better torque/hp because of the displacement. Drag racing is a completely different story so i cannot talk about that. K series i will agree is better in the higher hp range and J is better for the stock-ish swap in an EG/DC. J series is definitely not practical and depending on j choice the intake mani will stick out the hood making it not the most daily friendly. If you want a quick daily just boost it 👌
That's cool I didn't know that. I should mention I was referring to the Top FWD Unlimited Time Attack Cars. You won't necessarily have cut the hood if you have the adjustable Hasport mounts but the you have to choose between ground clearance or hood clearance. Still have to disagree with you when it comes to practicality though, a Auto J swaped Civic or Integra would be very stout on the highway, great on gas, and as long as the swap was done well and with as most OEM parts as possible it should be reliable. I don't know how that's not practical, will it be a little loud? Depending on the exhaust system but other then that an Auto J series should be very tame. The K series is an overall better engineered motor. Who wants to run a boosted D series when you could use that money to pay for a motor swap, and then boost it.
Jacob Flores you'd be surprised how many people constantly comment about how D series is still good/relevant and how you shouldnt doubt it. Nowadays anything is possible. Its all about money to power ratio ( unless you are rich)
Miton Films No I wouldn't because I've seen them, the D series basically has a cult following which has got a few merits, but the cost to power ratio of that motor is too high unless you're rich, blind to the benefits of the other motors available, or just really love the D lol
Jacob Flores the cost of dseries is stupid cheap and you can rebuild a d series and turbo it for under 2000 properly the rebuild kits are cheap and ebay turbo and hit a reliable 300whp for way cheap. ofcourse id still go with the h2b which is my current setup
@@trenton6621 the only D series I find as a good option for performance it's the D16A1 a.k.a the DOHC D series or the B16A non-vtec it's good because it's a DOHC engine while a SOHC D series it's pointless and gutless just like a SOHC F series F20B bluetop and the F20C are great too

Actually the H series can be one of hondas most powerful engines, at least in stock form. Ive got a H22A Type S they make 217hp which is pretty great for a stock engine. Yes its heavy and it doesnt make power with bolt ons like a K series would, but man is it a sleeper motor. So quiet in daily driving but once you get over 4000 rpm it screams
i beat the shit out of a 2000 SH, with the H22a4/5spd for 2 and a half years of daily driving had 200k miles on it, windshield and quarters were rotten so i sold it, have another car on the go, just picked up a black 04 TL its auto but 150k miles just a few bubbles, i really would like to build a BB6 though, probably the next project
Stock for stock, the j32a2 and the cl-s 6 speed will eat any other swap. Bolt ons and suspension and you have a very manageable 300hp beast. I did my j swap in a ek Civic and it runs mid 12s. Really only took me about 3k, doing all the work myself. It's heavy, and has more torque then necessary for daily uses. But coilovers, traction bar and bushings and you can corner with the rest of them. The hasport mounts are adjustable so you don't have to cut the hood. Makes for the ultimate sleeper. Just my opinion. Been driving my j swap daily for about 3 years. No issues.
I swapped J35Z2 5A/T in my Sentra almost 2 years ago and I love my car now more than ever. The only sad thing is that we don't have that many choices of J series here in Thailand.
Euro r h2b tuned on hondata s300. Sleeper style surprising a lot of people. They don't expect to lose to a 30 year old Honda which is why I love it. The gearing on the b series is what keeps it in the powerband. 4.7 lsd itr trans with plateless kit.
honestly j series puts you in a different class when it comes to racing your a v6 so you go up against a entire different crowd that's why no one goes j series now k series and h2b keep you in the 4 cylinder class.

also a v6 fwd class is basically non existent with 4 fwd you have so many options thats why there are so many people in it also if you were to build a car for competitive world time attack not many people would plan to start with a fwd if they had a choice
it is nice when you do these discussions keep it up. I am doing a kswap on my channel an I have no mechanical nor any ASE credentials, all u need is to research and hours of it. the kseries is overated yes but it has a better HP per liter than the jseries and the jseries isn't that easy, you still have to remove the spot welds from passenger side mounts, cut out or get a ktuned shifter box and wiring harness. Hondas best engine is the f20c and f22c fron factory and people still swap them for the k20 because of how advance it is. if you are looking for easy and quick power just go boosted B,D or H series.
@@austinvilla6401 more powerful? No. But they make good torque down low, unlike the k series. Also, under a moderate amount of boost they do well, easy to squeeze 350hp out of, on a serious budget. Personally love the Gen 5 prelude I have, and the engine has a strong low noise, rather than the rattle tin can sound of most Honda engines.
my opinion as a J30 accord owner... Go K series if you have the money to do it. J series has almost no aftermarket support compared to K. But im sure sooner or later it will get better.
J30a5 Accord J series are slowly getting a lot of aftermarket support. Just give it a few more years. Current j32a3 accord owner here saying Ks are way overrated
If I wanted to do a J swap with an automatic transmission, would that be smart for a good daily? That’s really all I’m trying to build is a nice, fast daily
What about G series 5 cyl engines by Honda? I don't hear a lot about those engines, probably because of their lack of aftermarket and tune-ability, but I'd really appreciate hearing your opinion about it.
in stock form, but the J and K can't be swapped and stay in stock form, they have to be modded, mod for mod regardless of number output, the K series outdoes the other two. The J is a great engine though, it needs more aftermarket support and it's dated. The bigger current J series engines aren't so simple to swap.
I really like my 2001 honda accord F23A1, wish they had more aftermarket parts for them. Thinking about H22 swapping it since it's practically a bolt-in with a little wiring. Considering I manual swapped mine due to a terrible baxa automatic transmission it had in it.
yup I’ve got an f23 bro u should look into the g 23. Frankenstein build Essentially we would put an h series head on our f 23 and would gain everything that we need from an h series like compression etc for a fraction of the price
If you're going racing do a K, the variable cam timing is superior and there is a ton of support for it. But for less money than a K, H, or J swap you can turbo that b18b and beat all those swaps.
Any advice on putting these in a rear wheel drive layout? I'm looking at putting one in a Morris Minor, Morris Oxford, MG Midget, Ford Anglia, Hillman Minx, or similar.
Hey Thanks for The Info about these engines I have a 1993 Automatic Ford Tempo GL. It haves a 2.3L 4 cylinder Engine in it. And it's a front wheel drive. I wanted to know which one of these engines on this video can fit in that body I have?
man i really have been thinking about this for along time, my friend had an acura suv, i didn't really know anything about honda's or acura's at the time, but that thing was stupid fast, for a full size suv, since driving that, i've wanted to j swap something this video just confirmed it, so my question is, what should i look to j swap? i'm already building a ls dc2 integra with a b18c1 gsr motor/trans swap, so should i find a honda shell orrr go crazy and j swap my mazda mx3? helpp?
my mecanic start to swap j-series on ek civic since 2 years retty amazing want more info about the swap go on facebook and search for chez honda physique
TFAY not worth the time or the money, there’s not enough support as of right now, i love the j35, i have a 07 acura tl type s and it’s honestly the best stock car i’ve ever driven, stock for stock nothing compares... but mods come into play and we sadly start getting bottlenecked
The J Series is simply a novelty engine swap, nothing more than something different (cool to see, and props mostly about swap achievement but that's it). Performance wise - Sure, you'll have a bump in power over most stock engine swaps, but that's pretty much where you'll stay unless you get Custom parts made - And even then you'll still be getting pulled on by those with built K, H, and B series.
I love h series but the only down fall when building it is the frm sleeves. I can honestly tell this guy haven't ever touched an h. If you know what your doing with them the h is far better than the k. The f23a1 with a h22a head is pretty sweet also I believe it's called a g23 if I'm not mistaken
So, i have a d16 right now, and was thinking about doing a swap, but was wondering what engines would be compatible with my transmission, its a 5 speed s20, but i dont really know much about it, im new to the whole mechanical aspect and im still learning
Stock for stock, b series V-tec is the best in my opinion. Doesn't have many random misfire issues, high rev all day, gets the most abuse ever(besides the single cam), and will keep going strong even over 200k+ miles. I've seen K series take a dump before 100k miles w/out the excessive abuse.
Then you don't know ks. Timing chain and tensioner replacement at 150k miles and I've never seen them bend valves when they skip a tooth when you let it go too many miles. Aftermarket cams are risky especially since junk2 (aka skunk2) started making cams for ks. Just stay away from aftermarket kseries cams and your good to go... unless your cruising for a bruising at the school of hard knocks. About 1-2% of the kseries cams do last but just be warned.
Darkblast 2612 transmission is exactly the same just turned around 180degrees. It's the donor car that abused it due to the crappy CMC that comes factory on 2001+ manual tranny honda/acuras (excluding the corrected cmc out of the em2 civic).
my 2 cents the cheaper way to do a J swap if finding a T bone TL-S at the junkyard buy it as a donor car for 450 to 700 get ur long block 3.2 and tranny. and continue from there. peace
J32 is underrated, just an amazing engine that responds well to mods, plus who doesn't love the sound of a V6? especially with V-tec? I just wish there more parts for them :(
What about the f series? The f22 and h22 seem like the exact same engine to me. My accord has the f22 but there are so many more aftermarket parts for the prelude. And should I cam it on stock internals?
Do you think a j series would fit in a 99 prelude sh? I’m just wondering because I’m starting to think about building the motor in it or swapping to something else. It has the stock h22a4 motor in it now
I almost bought a K for my 99 honda accord thank you for making a clear step by step video on the different motors definitely going to look into the J series for my car now
overall great discussion its all based on life style .My friend has a I have a D series and feel great have fun in traffic great daily fun I'm glad you did this based on facts and then made your opinion I like balance for what I'm doing reliability type of driving etc suspension set up life style I enjoy the technical aspects to tuning so I build the car around my lifestyle at that moment great job now viewers can make a choice based upon there lifestyle
10k to go k? lol that's alittle steep. k is more expensive , but worth it. patients is key don't fall into the hype and try to buy everything at once. everything takes time.
I drive a 06 sixspeed v6 sedan accord. And believe me, the J30a5 is such a beautiful engine. It's quick in stock form. I just wish there was more aftermarket support for them. Basically all we can do is intake exhaust. Then slap a tl ecu in it and run Hondata. It sucks that there's no love for them because in stock form they can hold a great amount of Powers reliably too.
I think I’m going to get an ek civic when I’m holder first, I’m looking for something fun, easy to modify, and cheap, so if I get a civic should I do the h2b or a k swap?
H series is underrated, better be that way so that us admirers can have it in low price! Also if someone seeking for true Honda Symphony then H can deliver to them through those performance exhaust!
I wanna do a K24a2 swap for my 97 Accord EX if I were to order the engine from Japan what would I be looking to spend with the transmission all in one or would I be better off getting a K24a2 long block and a k20 head for higher rev I don't think I'll be racing my Accord it's gonna be a show car only for car shows
Do Boy's Garage J32A2 VETEC in an 1988 CRX SI with a small sensable shot of Nitrous to lightly fog just to help hold the rpms up and remain in the power band with an automatic sequential shift transmission for faster, smoother shifts while maintaining more efficient traction with a nice soft set of soft wide sport tires, maybe drag D.O.T.S. to help stick the less than 2,300 LB Super Hot Hatch to the pavement and Hustle and embarrass a big part of all the Momma and Daddy sponsored little spoiled ones out there in there factory, dealership built racecars that half of them can't tell you anything about them other than what there Daddy's had showed them in the brochure. Then you smile while you collect your money from them as there girlfriends stare in confusion and disbelief and ask how did that little, old car beat this one, and why are we paying so much a month on this one?
u take a h22 and add 15psi of boost and it touches around 500 -600 rite there youre rapping the k and thats on a stock block at that go to boostedbois channel check his red hatch
Luis Viera boostedbois are on sleeved and built block. K series have been known to make over 700 hp on stock motor. There are no Honda motors that compare to a k series
Luis Viera and idk i never heard or saw a stock internal k running 700hp or even 600 seen some in the 300"s all day but i couldn't afford the 10k for the typeR swap n tune so i got a H2B redtop itr 98spec trans n goodies n tune
Emanuel Sacriste I think its because they're getting old...? Or because these engines being compared are high displacement vs B series you could barely get a 1.8L without massive mods... I've heard of people building on B20s, but that must be a huge pain considering they didn't have VTEC (and the tuners made them VTEC)... Must've been some B20 with B16B shit in it
h22a is not only prelude .... its ATR prelude and 9 of the 10 h22a leaves k20 in the dust, h22a swap is the same amount of work then a k, come to holland they are wild about the H because the engine is better em stronger then a k serie, pleas post a vid like this if you know what you know :)
Jeoffrey Rosman no h block is stronger then a k, show me a video of a stock sleeve h series hitting 800whp or a fully stock block hitting 500 whp and I'll believe that. Every truly fast Honda is either b series or k series and that's a fact top 10 sfwd all b's and k's and the k's arnt touched in all motor
What do you recommend for 2001 prelude, have a H22A , not a racer but would like power and maybe turbo later and would like 6spd if decide to take trip on highway and not Rev high.
K series are high revving monsters perfect for boost, factory forged The H series is a crazy smooth, even powerband great for all motor power, and so decently under boost. And hey, the gen five prelude is one of the best looking Hondas ever! The B series are perfect for wind it to the moon style engine builds. Love them all. The H22 is a perfect balance for almost any small chassis Honda. Pair it with the F23 engine block, for the iron piston sleeves, and breath some boost into it. Cams/Porting go a long way aswell, seeing that it is a great flowing head.
After reading the comments I learned go buy any car and any engine you want, because it's your money spend how you like. Every one is subject to their own opinion. At the end of the day if you like it then fuck it drive off into the sunset lol
What do you mean J series isn't practice I daily drove one for a good year rain or shine with the 3.5 sticking out of the hood in California. It's a stock engine (Honda reliability). It's as practical as the K series. Meaning you'll need an ecu axles shift linkage custom harness motor mounts, and a good tunner. However I don't think a k series will put down 317hp and 305tq with just a tune stock engine NA.
A great engine to create sleepers, show cars or race in the streets. But it does set you in a V6 class. Would be nice to just own best of all 3 worlds ...
I got a 93 prelude first Honda ever. I just joined the club seeing I was driving German b4 bmw and Mercedes. I need to know what engine to put in it to kill everyone on the road?

What about G series 5 cyl engines by Honda? I don't hear a lot about those engines, probably because of their lack of aftermarket and tune-ability, but I'd really appreciate hearing your opinion about it.
junk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
in stock form, but the J and K can't be swapped and stay in stock form, they have to be modded, mod for mod regardless of number output, the K series outdoes the other two. The J is a great engine though, it needs more aftermarket support and it's dated. The bigger current J series engines aren't so simple to swap.
I really like my 2001 honda accord F23A1, wish they had more aftermarket parts for them. Thinking about H22 swapping it since it's practically a bolt-in with a little wiring. Considering I manual swapped mine due to a terrible baxa automatic transmission it had in it.
yup I’ve got an f23 bro u should look into the g 23. Frankenstein build
Essentially we would put an h series head on our f 23 and would gain everything that we need from an h series like compression etc for a fraction of the price
Thinking about doing a j series swap on an 5/6th gen accord I need to know if this is worth while or what would be a good set up for this type of car
This really helped me man! Thanks!
If you're going racing do a K, the variable cam timing is superior and there is a ton of support for it. But for less money than a K, H, or J swap you can turbo that b18b and beat all those swaps.
I stuck with the k24a2. Can be very reliable on boost
Any advice on putting these in a rear wheel drive layout? I'm looking at putting one in a Morris Minor, Morris Oxford, MG Midget, Ford Anglia, Hillman Minx, or similar.
Hey Thanks for The Info about these engines I have a 1993 Automatic Ford Tempo GL. It haves a 2.3L 4 cylinder Engine in it. And it's a front wheel drive. I wanted to know which one of these engines on this video can fit in that body I have?
show some love to D series too man!
"D series is out of the equation, no point even talking bout it"
D16z6 gang here you can't do me like this famalam
Them shits is buns
@@straightdemon7479 my 600 hp d will leave whatever u got sitting still
nice video! what are the weights without gearbox/transmissions?
man i really have been thinking about this for along time, my friend had an acura suv, i didn't really know anything about honda's or acura's at the time, but that thing was stupid fast, for a full size suv, since driving that, i've wanted to j swap something this video just confirmed it, so my question is, what should i look to j swap? i'm already building a ls dc2 integra with a b18c1 gsr motor/trans swap, so should i find a honda shell orrr go crazy and j swap my mazda mx3? helpp?
What about the B series? What do yall think about this swap
Killer swap
my mecanic start to swap j-series on ek civic since 2 years retty amazing
want more info about the swap go on facebook and search for chez honda physique
Video was very helpful just looking for some advice on which swap I should do
This was realy helpful, i have a j35 and an planning on putting forced induction on it
TFAY not worth the time or the money, there’s not enough support as of right now, i love the j35, i have a 07 acura tl type s and it’s honestly the best stock car i’ve ever driven, stock for stock nothing compares... but mods come into play and we sadly start getting bottlenecked
The J Series is simply a novelty engine swap, nothing more than something different (cool to see, and props mostly about swap achievement but that's it). Performance wise - Sure, you'll have a bump in power over most stock engine swaps, but that's pretty much where you'll stay unless you get Custom parts made - And even then you'll still be getting pulled on by those with built K, H, and B series.
I love h series but the only down fall when building it is the frm sleeves. I can honestly tell this guy haven't ever touched an h. If you know what your doing with them the h is far better than the k. The f23a1 with a h22a head is pretty sweet also I believe it's called a g23 if I'm not mistaken
My old cd5 h22a swap would eat K series and J series all day.
Need to build another one
k20/24 is a lot better trust me
what are the advantages of using the K series type R engine, thanks!
So, i have a d16 right now, and was thinking about doing a swap, but was wondering what engines would be compatible with my transmission, its a 5 speed s20, but i dont really know much about it, im new to the whole mechanical aspect and im still learning
H series couldve been explained way better its basically the big block of honda and the best sounding honda
the h got the best vtec crossover ....(stock)
Thank you 😊
quarawlis stafford f and j are bigger h is the predecessor to f actually
F23 dohc...fuck it lol
jose vazquez thats possible ?
Stock for stock, b series V-tec is the best in my opinion. Doesn't have many random misfire issues, high rev all day, gets the most abuse ever(besides the single cam), and will keep going strong even over 200k+ miles. I've seen K series take a dump before 100k miles w/out the excessive abuse.
tommy facekicker D series is single stick. And yes, the K swamp is fad’ish. B’s and H’s take so much abuse an keep on rev’ing. Better trans as well.
tommy facekicker b series will blow up before my F20b will. Rev it to 9k several times a day for 6-7 years.
Then you don't know ks. Timing chain and tensioner replacement at 150k miles and I've never seen them bend valves when they skip a tooth when you let it go too many miles. Aftermarket cams are risky especially since junk2 (aka skunk2) started making cams for ks. Just stay away from aftermarket kseries cams and your good to go... unless your cruising for a bruising at the school of hard knocks. About 1-2% of the kseries cams do last but just be warned.
Darkblast 2612 transmission is exactly the same just turned around 180degrees. It's the donor car that abused it due to the crappy CMC that comes factory on 2001+ manual tranny honda/acuras (excluding the corrected cmc out of the em2 civic).
Bseries is outgunned in every way, except for boost. They hold just as well as any other for boost and are cheap
Have a quick question I have a 99 prelude with a jdm H23a and was wondering if a b series transmission fits with the h23a
What's everything I need to do auto to manual swap for B18B1
my 2 cents the cheaper way to do a J swap if finding a T bone TL-S at the junkyard buy it as a donor car for 450 to 700 get ur long block 3.2 and tranny. and continue from there. peace
F20b motor was only 699.
i know tons of internally stock Hs at 215-225wheel
preludeF20Bking I'm making 212 who on my pos stock block bolt ons
Also the type s red top prelude engine makes 220hp factory
Any thoughts on the best turbo build, bang for the buck in a civic/integra?
That yellow all motor integra with the wire tuck 😍
J series can come in a 3.5L too I have one in my 2012 HFP accord
And 3.7L :)
that thing must be beautiful i just bought a 2012 k24 accord coupe im loving it but as the days go by i want a J series more and more each day!
J32 is underrated, just an amazing engine that responds well to mods, plus who doesn't love the sound of a V6? especially with V-tec?
I just wish there more parts for them :(
What about the f series? The f22 and h22 seem like the exact same engine to me. My accord has the f22 but there are so many more aftermarket parts for the prelude. And should I cam it on stock internals?
Do you think a j series would fit in a 99 prelude sh? I’m just wondering because I’m starting to think about building the motor in it or swapping to something else. It has the stock h22a4 motor in it now
J Series is definitely under estimated it's a sleeper engine when put in the right body/owner.
Yes i agree and im a barra man i not long burt my first j series motor powered car and loving it
"This video is going to be more factual and opinionated than the last one" 🤔😕 Huh?...
I almost bought a K for my 99 honda accord thank you for making a clear step by step video on the different motors definitely going to look into the J series for my car now
I thought about pulling my 2012 3.7 tl motor and plopping it in a integra.. Will it work?
Easy cheap 250whp N/A
F20b
+1mm bore
K20A2 pistons
H23A crank and rods
E85
Upgrade cam spring retainer
F23B motor
F20B___CB7 ____ f23 crank even better. 97mm vs 95 mm crank of the h23
easier, cheaper 250whp N/A
J32a2/a3, boom.
That's it.
Why are you still reading this?
Love my J series Accord. Mods are a bit lacking though. The more people use the engine, the more that will change.
facts i have an 05 TL 6 speed LSD and i wish there were more aftermarket parts
Im enjoying my mdx its got j35a its nice daily
Thanks for adding J series in the video
great video thanks for the upload dude
J-Series FTW💪
Don't forget the OG Dseries :)
D series with bolt-on parts, upgraded ecu, stripped out interior lol that used to be really fun
overall great discussion its all based on life style .My friend has a I have a D series and feel great have fun in traffic great daily fun I'm glad you did this based on facts and then made your opinion I like balance for what I'm doing reliability type of driving etc suspension set up life style I enjoy the technical aspects to tuning so I build the car around my lifestyle at that moment great job now viewers can make a choice based upon there lifestyle
Nicholas Johnson. Oh shit fam that's the cat from Big Trouble Little China for your pic. 💯👌👍
I know this video is over 5 years old at this point but are there motor mounts for a J swap for a 4th gen Honda Prelude if you know?
10k to go k? lol that's alittle steep. k is more expensive , but worth it. patients is key don't fall into the hype and try to buy everything at once. everything takes time.
... but you are broke if you cannot do it at once, at least according to this guy. :D
Lmao 😂
Lucky MN he’s including labor cost which is real world. Most people either can’t or don’t have time to do a swap.
y'all trippen. my brother has a h22a1 in his 95 prelude with headers and a throttle body and he's out ran my dad's cammed k20 in his 04 rsk
Brent Eazy fg2 here shitting on h everyday,header and tb only he dont stand a chance,i run eg h22 no problem
Ah yes. The rare RSK
Vega-Expert i shit on any Si or type S by buses in my lude. It takes a k swap to give me a good run. I'm in socal and ready to run any day.
Vega-Expert you must be racing shit h22 swaps. I have buddies with h22 swaps and they shit on type s all day and I'm faster.
H22a4 in my 98 prelude. and plan on turboing it soon to make mad power lol
I drive a 06 sixspeed v6 sedan accord. And believe me, the J30a5 is such a beautiful engine. It's quick in stock form. I just wish there was more aftermarket support for them. Basically all we can do is intake exhaust. Then slap a tl ecu in it and run Hondata. It sucks that there's no love for them because in stock form they can hold a great amount of Powers reliably too.
I think I’m going to get an ek civic when I’m holder first, I’m looking for something fun, easy to modify, and cheap, so if I get a civic should I do the h2b or a k swap?
Wish i could take a run with you in my b20v cheers thanks for sharing
Would a k20 swap a 2006 Honda Civic lx with a r18 require no modifications and be a direct swap?
Planning a K swap here, but still liked the video. Thanks much!
K series. 🏁🏁
+Zosh Such a typical response 😎😂
B20 vtec
Zosh J series cus its my TL all day
K24 have v tec ?
@zosh says the person who has only owned b-series lol
Everyone knows that D13B2 is the best engine for turbo.👌
It's an economy motor
@@ken3234 it was a joke .
Thanx for adding the j series
Got a 94 ej1 coupe. I been thinking about a rwd j series swap. Custom plate to mount it to a t56 6 speed trans if possible.
my man didnt even say like n subscribe 😂😂 he said dislike it and hit us with a outro right after lmfaoo
Ryan O'Brien gotta keep it original somehow 👳🏿♂️👳🏿♂️
i had a stock h with super low miles stock vs stock i never once was beat by a k stock end of story
H series is underrated, better be that way so that us admirers can have it in low price! Also if someone seeking for true Honda Symphony then H can deliver to them through those performance exhaust!
Crashed my 6speed tl now i wana swap it n 2 my hatch jest dont knw wats needed???????
I wanna do a K24a2 swap for my 97 Accord EX if I were to order the engine from Japan what would I be looking to spend with the transmission all in one or would I be better off getting a K24a2 long block and a k20 head for higher rev I don't think I'll be racing my Accord it's gonna be a show car only for car shows
K Series all day every day!
+Do Boy's Garage I knew you were a K series guy!
Do Boy's Garage yass
Allows for best power and overall balance. Plus Honda addresses all of the issues in the H and B series.
Do Boy's Garage J32A2 VETEC in an 1988 CRX SI with a small sensable shot of Nitrous to lightly fog just to help hold the rpms up and remain in the power band with an automatic sequential shift transmission for faster, smoother shifts while maintaining more efficient traction with a nice soft set of soft wide sport tires, maybe drag D.O.T.S. to help stick the less than 2,300 LB Super Hot Hatch to the pavement and Hustle and embarrass a big part of all the Momma and Daddy sponsored little spoiled ones out there in there factory, dealership built racecars that half of them can't tell you anything about them other than what there Daddy's had showed them in the brochure. Then you smile while you collect your money from them as there girlfriends stare in confusion and disbelief and ask how did that little, old car beat this one, and why are we paying so much a month on this one?
LMFAO GO say that bull shit to speedfactory and watch you get laughed at.
u take a h22 and add 15psi of boost and it touches around 500 -600 rite there youre rapping the k and thats on a stock block at that go to boostedbois channel check his red hatch
Luis Viera stock h22 cant hold 500hp boost. stock rods cant hold it .
Luis Viera boostedbois are on sleeved and built block. K series have been known to make over 700 hp on stock motor. There are no Honda motors that compare to a k series
Luis Viera and idk i never heard or saw a stock internal k running 700hp or even 600 seen some in the 300"s all day but i couldn't afford the 10k for the typeR swap n tune so i got a H2B redtop itr 98spec trans n goodies n tune
Scott Fonte look up Derek's car made 700 on stock motor for 3 years. He's from innovative tunning.
Scott Fonte look up lil man EG. stock block 600whp k20. beat the shit out of it for 6 month then it blew.
Look I want to buy an ek or eg I want to j swap but I don’t want it manual I want automatic so could I get an auto ek or eg and put a j32 in it?
Whats transmisión swap i cant use to a J30 AT 2001 Accord, ?
Why not B Series?
+emasacriste Check my B series vs K series video
good question
Emanuel Sacriste I think its because they're getting old...? Or because these engines being compared are high displacement vs B series you could barely get a 1.8L without massive mods... I've heard of people building on B20s, but that must be a huge pain considering they didn't have VTEC (and the tuners made them VTEC)... Must've been some B20 with B16B shit in it
B20 VTEC
It comes from the crap base Integra b18 without vtec and an entire b16 or b18 vtec head on the motor and a b16 vtec transmission
H SERIES FOR LIFE!
Great video, man.
great vid, good job man
h22a is not only prelude .... its ATR prelude and 9 of the 10 h22a leaves k20 in the dust, h22a swap is the same amount of work then a k,
come to holland they are wild about the H because the engine is better em stronger then a k serie,
pleas post a vid like this if you know what you know :)
Jeoffrey Rosman no h block is stronger then a k, show me a video of a stock sleeve h series hitting 800whp or a fully stock block hitting 500 whp and I'll believe that. Every truly fast Honda is either b series or k series and that's a fact top 10 sfwd all b's and k's and the k's arnt touched in all motor
shout out to boostedboiz on their stock block h22a hitting 711whp
Dell Oh not stock block at all lol stock sleeve, plenty of stock sleeve k’s making 800+ at 10k rpm
Dirty Dan EG it doesn’t have to be stronger to smoke the nuts off a k series allmotor vs allmotor.
preludeF20Bking but they dont....
i love when a little d series comes along and walks everyone lol
I've seen a d series do damage at the races! Lol
I had 02 d series out race other race just went u hit 4 and 5 gear it longer
I have a 00 ex accord coupe with a j30a1, I’ve seen a lot of people swap with a j35 intake and add 50 hp just under 400
What do you recommend for 2001 prelude, have a H22A , not a racer but would like power and maybe turbo later and would like 6spd if decide to take trip on highway and not Rev high.
K series are high revving monsters perfect for boost, factory forged
The H series is a crazy smooth, even powerband great for all motor power, and so decently under boost. And hey, the gen five prelude is one of the best looking Hondas ever!
The B series are perfect for wind it to the moon style engine builds.
Love them all. The H22 is a perfect balance for almost any small chassis Honda. Pair it with the F23 engine block, for the iron piston sleeves, and breath some boost into it. Cams/Porting go a long way aswell, seeing that it is a great flowing head.
You're wrong the gen 4 looks waaaaay better
After reading the comments I learned go buy any car and any engine you want, because it's your money spend how you like. Every one is subject to their own opinion. At the end of the day if you like it then fuck it drive off into the sunset lol
I was thinking to swap my Mazda 12 with a k20 and put it AWD.Is it a good Idea? Is the k20 small enough to fit?
Hey bro I have a 81 Honda prelude 1.8 any advice on swap engine. I want a good engine
What do you mean J series isn't practice I daily drove one for a good year rain or shine with the 3.5 sticking out of the hood in California. It's a stock engine (Honda reliability). It's as practical as the K series. Meaning you'll need an ecu axles shift linkage custom harness motor mounts, and a good tunner. However I don't think a k series will put down 317hp and 305tq with just a tune stock engine NA.
A great engine to create sleepers, show cars or race in the streets. But it does set you in a V6 class. Would be nice to just own best of all 3 worlds ...
I'm a K/B series guy but i respect F/H/D/R/L/G/J/C series they're good engines😊
L15A/B is pretty common and very popular in Thailand. We are a country with small engines and penises of course hahahahaha
So if i put a j series in my car what am i going to have to gut out to fit it in?
Which variant of the j series came in the 01 accord sedan v6
D series let's talk about it
J35 3.5 V6 Accord ✅✅✅✅✅✅
Would I be able to put a j series inside of a 2004 or 1994 accord?
I got a 93 prelude first Honda ever. I just joined the club seeing I was driving German b4 bmw and Mercedes. I need to know what engine to put in it to kill everyone on the road?
